Make a shortcut to a nicer colour scale:

colsc <- function(...) {
  scale_fill_gradientn(
    colours = rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(11, "RdYlBu")),
    limits = range(..., na.rm = TRUE)
  )
}

Modelling on 2D domains

We will now construct a 2D model, generate a sample of a random field, and attempt to recover the field from observations at a few locations. Tomorrow, we will look into more general mesh constructions that adapt to irregular domains.

First, we build a high resolution mesh for the true field, using low level INLA functions

bnd <- spoly(data.frame(easting = c(0, 10, 10, 0), northing = c(0, 0, 10, 10)),
  format = "sf"
)
mesh_fine <- fm_mesh_2d_inla(boundary = bnd, max.edge = 0.2)
ggplot() +
  geom_fm(data = mesh_fine)
#> Warning in fm_as_sfc.fm_segm(data): fm_as_sfc currently only supports
#> (multi)linestring output


# Note: the priors here will not be used in estimation
matern_fine <-
  inla.spde2.pcmatern(mesh_fine,
    prior.sigma = c(1, 0.01),
    prior.range = c(1, 0.01)
  )
true_range <- 4
true_sigma <- 1
true_Q <- inla.spde.precision(matern_fine,
  theta = log(c(true_range, true_sigma))
)

What is the pointwise standard deviation of the field? Along straight boundaries, the variance is twice the target variance. At corners the variance is 4 times as large.

true_sd <- diag(inla.qinv(true_Q))^0.5
ggplot() +
  gg(mesh_fine, color = true_sd) +
  coord_equal()

Generate a sample from the model:

true_field <- inla.qsample(1, true_Q)[, 1]

truth <- expand.grid(
  easting = seq(0, 10, length = 100),
  northing = seq(0, 10, length = 100)
)
truth <- sf::st_as_sf(truth, coords = c("easting", "northing"))
truth$field <- fm_evaluate(
  mesh_fine,
  loc = truth,
  field = true_field
)

pl_truth <- ggplot() +
  gg(truth, aes(fill = field), geom = "tile") +
  ggtitle("True field")
pl_truth


## Or with another colour scale:
csc <- colsc(truth$field)
multiplot(pl_truth, pl_truth + csc, cols = 2)

Extract observations from some random locations:

n <- 200
mydata <- sf::st_as_sf(
  data.frame(easting = runif(n, 0, 10), northing = runif(n, 0, 10)),
  coords = c("easting", "northing")
)
mydata$observed <-
  fm_evaluate(
    mesh_fine,
    loc = mydata,
    field = true_field
  ) +
  rnorm(n, sd = 0.4)
ggplot() +
  gg(mydata, aes(col = observed))

Estimating the field

Construct a mesh covering the data:

mesh <- fm_mesh_2d_inla(boundary = bnd, max.edge = 0.5)
ggplot() +
  geom_fm(data = mesh)

Construct an SPDE model object for a Matern model:

matern <-
  inla.spde2.pcmatern(mesh,
    prior.sigma = c(10, 0.01),
    prior.range = c(1, 0.01)
  )

Specify the model components:

cmp <- observed ~ field(geometry, model = matern) + Intercept(1)

Fit the model and inspect the results:

fit <- bru(cmp, mydata, family = "gaussian")
summary(fit)

Predict the field on a lattice, and generate a single realisation from the posterior distribution:

pix <- fm_pixels(mesh, dims = c(200, 200))
pred <- predict(
  fit, pix,
  ~ field + Intercept
)
samp <- generate(fit, pix,
  ~ field + Intercept,
  n.samples = 1
)
pred$sample <- samp[, 1]

Compare the truth to the estimated field (posterior mean and a sample from the posterior distribution):

pl_posterior_mean <- ggplot() +
  gg(pred, geom = "tile") +
  gg(bnd, alpha = 0) +
  ggtitle("Posterior mean")
pl_posterior_sample <- ggplot() +
  gg(pred, aes(fill = sample), geom = "tile") +
  gg(bnd, alpha = 0) +
  ggtitle("Posterior sample")

# Common colour scale for the truth and estimate:
csc <- colsc(truth$field, pred$mean, pred$sample)
multiplot(pl_truth + csc,
  pl_posterior_mean + csc,
  pl_posterior_sample + csc,
  cols = 3
)

Plot the SPDE parameter and fixed effect parameter posteriors.

int.plot <- plot(fit, "Intercept")
spde.range <- spde.posterior(fit, "field", what = "range")
spde.logvar <- spde.posterior(fit, "field", what = "log.variance")
range.plot <- plot(spde.range)
var.plot <- plot(spde.logvar)

multiplot(range.plot, var.plot, int.plot)

Look at the correlation function if you want to:

corplot <- plot(spde.posterior(fit, "field", what = "matern.correlation"))
covplot <- plot(spde.posterior(fit, "field", what = "matern.covariance"))
multiplot(covplot, corplot)

You can plot the median, lower 95% and upper 95% density surfaces as follows (assuming that the predicted intensity is in object pred).

csc <- colsc(
  pred[["median"]],
  pred[["q0.025"]],
  pred[["q0.975"]]
) ## Common colour scale from SpatialPixelsDataFrame

gmedian <- ggplot() +
  gg(pred["median"], geom = "tile") +
  csc
glower95 <- ggplot() +
  gg(pred["q0.025"], geom = "tile") +
  csc +
  theme(legend.position = "none")
gupper95 <- ggplot() +
  gg(pred["q0.975"], geom = "tile") +
  csc +
  theme(legend.position = "none")

multiplot(gmedian, glower95, gupper95,
  layout = matrix(c(1, 1, 2, 3), byrow = TRUE, ncol = 2)
)
